the terms they're using to discuss a lot of this aren't things she's heard before, but she can get the gist of it, and honestly - she can relate to some parts of it. abandonment, earlier on. and then feeling lost, and alone, and afraid at the end.
it's a horrible feeling. she's blinking tears out of her eyes from just the force of the memory alone as they come out of it, and without thinking, she hugs him.]
[He had been doing a pretty good job of keeping the tears in, but when Sheba hugs him he finds his face feeling hot and painful. He squeezes his eyes shut as he hugs her back, glad to have someone physically there to ground him in the swirl of emotions. He misses his dad so, so much, and the memories just bring that pain to the forefront of his mind and make his heart ache.
He really, really wishes he could see his dad again. Dad would know what to do about the predicament Rin has gotten himself into here.]
Yeah-
[His voice is a little raw, but he's holding it together.]
[his voice is raw enough for her to hear it - she recognizes it as the way her own voice sounds when she's trying not to cry. so she takes a breath and just holds onto him, not yet lifting her face.
if he's trying to hold it together, then he probably doesn't want her to see it. so she won't look, yet.]
...every time this happens I get more and more tempted to smash those stupid pieces of glass to bits.
